Answer: True

Explanation:

Oscillating water columns (OWC)

helps to harness energy from water and wind. Electricity is generated from the wave-driven rise and fall of water in a shaft.

The SHAFT-COLLECTED air is driven inside and upwards the top of the shaft due to the rising and falling water. Thus, powering the installed turbine, and GENERATING electricity.
